Steve Bannon was arrested on a boat, and the U.S. Postal Service was involved
Donald Trump's former advisor Stephen Bannon was today charged with fraud and other crimes.
Bannon was arrested. On a boat. The USPS was involved.
From NBC New York:
Yep. Agents of the USPS arrested Bannon.
Bannon is expected to be arraigned today before a US magistrate.
More on the charges against Bannon in our previous post.
Bannon was arrested. On a boat. The USPS was involved.
From NBC New York:
A law enforcement source tells NBC New York that Bannon was arrested this morning without incident while aboard a boat off the coast of Westbrook, Connecticut. Bannon is not the owner of the boat.NBC News and CBS News have both confirmed that Steve Bannon was arrested by agents of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which is the criminal investigating arm of the Postal Service.
And can we all take a moment to relish the sweet irony that Bannon was taken into custody by US Postal Service Agents. Through rain, sleet, snow, and worse they deliver medication, paychecks, absentee ballots … and JUSTICE! https://t.co/XLnPRC92QW— Jackie Speier (@RepSpeier) August 20, 2020

Kamala Harris Will Hurt Trump And Pence And That's What We Need
Posted by Rude One
Last week, I said on Twitter that I wanted Sen. Kamala Harris to be Joe Biden's pick for a running mate because I wanted her out there for the next couple of months prosecuting Donald Trump's administration in the public space. Several responses were along the lines of "No, fuck you, she should be attorney general, dick, so that my favorite Democrat can be VP!"
There are a few reasons I thought Harris-as-AG was a dumb idea. First, no Attorney General has ever gone on to become president. (Robert Kennedy may have, but, well, we'll never know.) And Harris obviously is eyeing the presidency down the road. More importantly, though, is that, as Biden's vice presidential nominee, she will have an incredibly high profile, and in a media environment that too often ignores Democrats and especially Democratic women, she can go out every day and make Donald Trump and Mike Pence cry and it will have to be covered. That will shake some shit up.
I hear every complaint about Harris, and, in another time, it might be enough for me to get upset about it and question Biden's judgment or get angry at the marginalization of the true left of the Democratic Party or whatever, but, sorry, no, fuck that.
"Kamala is a cop," you say? Well, she's not and never has been, and I've got a stack of bodies that'll be topping 200,000 that makes me just not give a shit about the questionable aspects of Harris's record as Attorney General of California.
Did she ignore a pandemic and cause the economy to crash and refuse to do anything to help while people died, starved, and lost their homes? No? Then who the fuck cares. (And she's been very strong on the environment, violence against women, financial exploitation of the poor, and more, along with being anti-death penalty, so let's just say there's more than enough to mitigate other shit. She's way more progressive than the more-liberal-than-thou gatekeepers say.)
Besides, there are a shit-ton of truly liberal Democratic candidates running at all levels, from school board on up to U.S. Senate. Get behind them and get them elected. That's what will move the whole party to the left. Look at someone like Cameron Webb, running for Congress in Virginia, and who has a chance to pick up a GOP seat. You can use that amazing lefty energy to have a long-term effect on the Democratic Party.
In her speech today at the event where Biden introduced her as his running mate, Harris went right at Trump, laying the failure of this nation to combat the coronavirus right at his wobbly feet. "The case against Mike Pence and Donald Trump is open and shut," she offered before listing the utter failures of this failed group of failures failing us every day, finally coming back to the response to COVID-19. "When other countries are following the science, Trump pushed miracle cures he saw on Fox News." What was doubly awesome about that remark is that the speech was being broadcast on Fox "news," who finally got a small taste of what it's like when Trump screeches, "Fake news!" at CNN.
In perhaps the most cutting moment, Harris said that Trump "inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground." That is some hardcore, go-for-the-jugular shit right there. It attacks the entire mythos of Donald Trump as a Successful Businessman when he is a rank loser who couldn't have done a goddamn thing without his daddy's money and still fucked it all up. And she did it with a calm, rational voice, not like the ranting hysterics of the man she's slicing and dicing.
The Trump campaign is caught on Harris between trying to rile up the left with the aforementioned issues and calling her a "radical" who "has abandoned her own morals in an attempt to appease the socialist mob seeking to destroy America. Biden and Harris' disastrous proposals of de-funding the police, increased taxes, job-killing policies, and opening our borders are just a few of the many ways they would destroy America." All you can say to Trump is "Motherfucker, you already destroyed America. You burned this shit down. Why would we re-elect you so you can piss on the ashes?"
Today, Biden and Harris offered more sympathy for families and loved ones of the Americans who have died of coronavirus than Trump has offered since the pandemic hit this country. They offered more hope in the form of realistically looking at the crises that Trump has created than in all the bullshit, pointless, delusional happy talk from theresident and
his administration. And Harris and Biden and their staffs look more like
America than the KKK meeting that shows up at every Trump event.
Harris can prosecute the case against Trump and Pence starting now, and that's perfect. She can hurt them over and over. She can do it with confidence and charisma and cold, hard facts. We need that.
We need them wounded again and again. We need Americans to feel ashamed to vote for these GOP dick-scabs. That's why we need Harris now, not later as attorney general. When she's elected, Harris can lead a commission that exposes all their crimes. In fact, having her as vice president would help assure that Biden doesn't let it all slide just to move forward, as he and Obama did with the Bush administration's crimes. Harris the prosecutor knows that you can't let that shit go unpunished.
Yeah, the choice of Harris was entirely expected and not remotely surprising, and, goddamn, it felt good to have something go the way it's supposed to go. That can be really fucking energizing and get you ready for what's next. It makes you feel like "Yeah, maybe we can do this."

You can tell that Trump is shitting himself over Harris because she is everything that he has feared his entire life: a strong Black woman straight from Central Casting who won't take shit and who will get high ratings every time she kicks him in his voluminous ass.
He's gotta desperately play all the tropes, from the racist "angry" Black person to the woman who is "nasty" and "mean," which means not subservient to men like Trump. Shit, they're even rebooting the Willie Horton ads from 1988. What the hell else is he gonna do but break out the hits like this is still the 1980's and the suburbs are still a generic white paradise and aren't filled with middle-class people of all races who support things like Black Lives Matter and think Trump is an obscenity?The Trump campaign is caught on Harris between trying to rile up the left with the aforementioned issues and calling her a "radical" who "has abandoned her own morals in an attempt to appease the socialist mob seeking to destroy America.

Another Week, Another Batshit Trump Interview
Posted by Rude One
Everyone's got their line that pushed them over the edge from resident Donald Trump's interview with Jonathan Swan of Axios (motto: "When USA Today is too complex, you've got Axios").
Mine occurred when Swan asked Trump about why he didn't bother to ask
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin about the reports that Putin had put a
bounty on the heads of American soldiers in Afghanistan. Trump could
have shimmied his hands around as he answered, "Well, he's my dom and
when master tells me not to ask questions, I can't ask questions or he
spanks my ass with the splintery switch." That would have made sense. I
could have thought, "Well, I guess he's gotta do what a sub's gotta do.
No one wants splinters in their ass. I assume. Better google that
later." (Note: Of course there are people who want splinters in their
ass.)
Instead, Trump harrumphed around the idea that
the intelligence was real and then said that his recent call with Putin
was about "nuclear proliferation." Trump said, "If we can do something
with Russia in terms of nuclear proliferation, which is a very big
problem...A much bigger problem than global warming in terms of the real
world, that would be a great thing."
Putting aside that it's Trump who is allowing
the New START treaty to expire and could extend it for five years with
no difficulty at all, only someone whose brain, such as it is, is stuck
around 1980 could actually say that nuclear weapons, in 2020, are
anything approaching the shit-inducing threat that the growing fuck storm
of climate change poses. It's like Trump just saw The Day After, and
he's thinking about how he might get stuck in a bunker with Melania and
that kid she always has with her. In terms of the real real world, not
the fake real world that Trump has forced us all to live in like that
demented telepathic little shit on that Twilight Zone episode,
climate change is the massive problem that Trump and the GOP insist on
denying, like, you know, they did with the coronavirus pandemic, and
that's worked out so fucking well.
This was how
the whole thing went. There was Trump bumble fucking through every lie
and delusion. There was the sociopathic denial of any hint of human
empathy despite, as Greg Mitchell points out,
the many chances that Swan gave Trump to show that he gives a jolly pig
fuck about anyone other than himself. Swan's face multiple times looked
like he was seriously worried if he was going to get out of the
interview unharmed. He confronted Trump again and again with facts, but
Trump would wave them off like someone was offering him a plate of
broccoli with his well-done steak, either not acknowledging them or
questioning whether it was a fact, like when Trump accused South Korea
of lying about its coronavirus cases.
The most
appalling moment wasn't Trump's blithe dismissal of the over 150,000
dead from his seemingly proud refusal to act on COVID-19, given the now
forever carved on his political tombstone "It is what it is." No, for
me, it was that he obviously has no idea about anything to do with
American history. I mean, we knew that, but it's always just pathetic
when we see him flunk basic shit again and again. First, Trump had no
idea who John Lewis was beyond the transactional, "the fuck he ever do
for me" basis by which he measures everyone. Seriously, check out this
exchange:
Swan: John Lewis is lying in state in the U.S. Capitol. How do you think history will remember John Lewis?
Trump:
I don’t know. I really don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know John
Lewis. He chose not to come to my inauguration. He chose… I never met
John Lewis, actually, I don’t believe.
Swan: Do you find him impressive?
Trump:
I can’t say one or the other. I find a lot of people impressive. I find
many people not impressive. But no, but I didn’t go-
Swan: Do you find his story impressive?
Trump: He didn’t come to my inauguration. He didn’t come to my State of the Union speeches, and that’s okay. That’s his right.
That's
the shit you say when you don't know something. While everyone is
praising Swan for simply doing real interviewing (which, admittedly, is
tough to do with an Adderall-snorting, syphilitic hog beast), he should
have asked Trump, "Do you know anything else at all about John Lewis? Do
you even know what the Edmund Pettus Bridge is?"
But
prior to that was just Trump's blatantly racist, insidious fucking
attempt to ass fuck American history until it is contorted around his
deformed goddamned image. Trump was once again lying about how "I did
more for the Black community than anybody with the possible exception of
Abraham Lincoln, whether you like it or not," and Swan asked him:
Swan: You really believe you did more than Lyndon Johnson who passed the Civil Rights Act?
Trump: I think I did, yeah.
Swan: How? How possibly did you-
Trump: Because I got criminal justice reform done, I got prison reform-
Swan: Lyndon Johnson-
Trump: I’ve done things. Well-
Swan: He passed the Civil Rights Act.
Trump: Ask. Ask. How has it worked out? If you take a look at what Lyndon Johnson did?
Swan: You think the Civil Rights Act was a mistake?
Trump: How has it worked out?
There's
so much to say here that it's almost impossible to articulate it.
First, Trump has no fucking clue what's in the 1964 Civil Rights Act,
let alone the Voting Rights Act or the 1968 Civil Rights Act, all signed
by LBJ (although he might know the last one since it prohibited the
very race discrimination in housing that he and his shitbird father
engaged in). More importantly, Trump looks at his minor adjustments in
laws as huge triumphs, not giving a damn that whatever African Americans
have accomplished during his residency comes from a long fuckin' line
of struggles and triumphs involving more presidents than just him. But
as far as Trump is concerned, African American history goes from Lincoln
freeing the slaves, which he allows is possibly more important than
Opportunity Zones, to him.
In a
rational nation, this kind of embarrassing stupidity in a leader would
cause an upheaval that would force them to run for freedom before the
pitchforks and torches caught up with them. And while those of us who
already despise Trump more than the dictionary has words to express are
justifiably nauseated by the interview, in MAGA world, this was Trump
just givin' it to the fake news who were trying to set him up to fail.
You
have to choose your reality in this America. And there are still tens
of millions of people who want to live in the one filtered through
Donald Trump's anus-mouth. Fuck them.

Republicans Worried That Trump's Stupidity Will Cost Them The Election
The open bigotry coming from Donald Trump is worse than it has ever been, but that's not the main concern of Republicans right now.
According to senior Republican officials in Washington, D.C., the main concern of Republicans seeking election this year is that Trump doesn't have a coherent campaign message that they can all run on in November.
They had one in 2016, but this year there is no common enemy other than their own party. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Trump's Pick To Replace Berman As SDNY US Attorney, Jay Clayton, Grilled By Rep. Katie Porter
Representative Katie Porter questions Securities and Exchange Commission
Chairman Jay Clayton and exposes just how unfit he is to serve as US
Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

afford to have these Trump appointees holding our republic in their
hands!
Let's take a closer look at Clayton and All The
Democrats Decide To Wait Until After The Election to Fully Attack, Just Like They Did In 2016. How'd That Work Out?
Posted by Rude One
There's a reason why the campaign of Donald Trump and Trump himself can't lay a glove on Joe Biden: we want Trump fucking gone. It's pretty goddamn hilarious to see Trump throw everything he can at Biden, including the shit he got impeached for, and nothing sticks. Trump's out there talking about Biden as a puppet of the "radical left," that Biden doesn't even know where he is, that "Sleepy Joe" can't handle the job, that Biden is owned by China. Trump's flailing and desperate because the motherfucker has seen his shit go south before. He sees the writing on the wall and it says, "Fuck you, Donald."

Trump's flailing and desperate because the motherfucker has seen his shit go south before. He sees the writing on the wall and it says, "Fuck you, Donald."
And unless you prove to
us that Biden will somehow fuck up the response to a pandemic as badly
as Trump did or that he'll let the economy crash and prance around like
the thirstiest cheerleader at the prep school instead of fucking helping
people or that he'll shit all over every alliance that the United
States has ever had around the world while buffing the balls of
dictators, it would take some kind of cataclysm of Epsteinian
proportions to turn even an electoral college-clinching number of voters
in Trump's favor. Or massive cheating and voter suppression, which is
frighteningly possible and means we shouldn't take anything for granted.
Back
in 2016, an anxious American left wondered how Democrats would respond
to Mitch McConnell's refusal to consider President Obama's choice to
replace the gratifyingly dead Antonin Scalia, Merrick Garland. It was
perhaps the most brazen assertion of power in eight years of abject
obstructionism to no purpose other than to obstruct, animated by the
racist hatred of Obama that defined the GOP during his term.
Democrats
needed to burn down DC, they needed to go on the air with massive ad
buys, they needed to organize mass protests, they needed to refuse to
pass any legislation, and more. Control the message and spread it wide
and make people invested in it. That's the tactic. Create the narrative
and don't just react. Obama had a chance to give the court a more
liberal majority for the first time in a generation, a transformative
appointment that would have solidified his legacy and created a bulwark
against right-wing fuckery for at least a decent period of time. It was
damn well worth fighting for.
And Democrats
more or less shrugged. Oh, sure, there was a little bit of posturing and
harumphing, but, likely with guidance from the White House, they pretty
much decided, "Nah. Hillary Clinton's gonna win. And then even if Mitch
McConnell is still Senate Majority Leader, we're sure he'll be a good
guy and let Scalia be replaced by a Democrat." It was
laughing-until-you-sob naive. They legit thought Clinton was gonna be
president, but McConnell wouldn't have fuckin' budged. That seat would
still be open because they would have declared Clinton illegitimate or
under investigation or some such shit. And it would have still been
because Democrats didn't mobilize in rage in the first fuckin' place.
This
is not just the realm of hindsight. Right now, in 2020, Donald Trump's
absolute refusal to have a unified, national policy on a fucking virus
that is fucking killing tens of thousands of people every month should
be the organizing principle for Democrats, prompting them to propose
radical action like health care for everyone or at least that the
government pay for coronavirus shit (since, you know, people are ending
up with massive
bills for catching COVID-19). Yes, House Democrats are having hearings.
Why not have some social-distanced town halls with people who suffered
because of Republican incompetence and cruelty? Why not take out ads of
their own and not rely on the scum-fucking Never Trump Republicans (who
will savagely turn against Democrats as soon as Trump is gone, and
they'll pretend like Trump didn't happen, just as they pretend like they
aren't the reason that Trump is there in the first place)? On the
pandemic, you can make the case that we can't wait until January to have
a coherent strategy because, really, we fucking well can't.
Or
maybe, on another shitpile in the cow pasture of Trump's scandals, they
could impeach Attorney General and man who looks as if he masturbates
to animal-stabbing porn William Barr. Yet today Speaker of the House
Nancy Pelosi said,
"One hundred and thirty-one days from now, we will have the solution to
many problems, one of them being Barr," adding that Barr "is
contemptible. There’s no question about that. But at this point, let’s
solve our problems by going to the polls and voting on Election Day."
And all I could think was "How'd that work out in 2016?"
I
know, I know, I fucking know that Trump isn't gonna be removed from
office. But Democrats could unify around a message that Trump has
extravagantly failed at the pandemic and should resign. Why not? Why not
make that the rallying cry? Why not say that the nation needs to put
saving American lives in places like, oh, shit, maybe Florida or Arizona
or Texas, hey, not just traditionally blue states anymore, above
politics?
It won't happen. (Or it might, in
which case, whoa.) But the message comes in clear that this is a failed residency and that those who still follow Trump are supporting a
failure. It's not that he's vulgar or racist or insulting. The narrative
is that he's killing us. He's hurting our bodies, and he's hurting our
businesses, and he's hurting our future.
Stop
being afraid to name the enemy as the enemy. And, more importantly, stop
being afraid to treat the enemy as the enemy now, not as a battle in
some hoped-for future.

Deep Cuts From Trump's Racist, Rambling, Ridiculous Speech In Tulsa
Posted by Rude One
Imagine Donald Trump looking out at the 2/3 empty arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday.
Imagine him finally seeing what his team had been prepping him for: the whole event was a bust.
An expensive, overblown, time-wasting bust, reminiscent of so many things in Trump's pathetic life.
Imagine him trying to figure out the greater insult: that he would have to go out and do his dog-and-pony hate show for the stinking rubes who had been standing in the Oklahoma heat, some for 2 days, or that the seats of the arena are blue, a wave of blue, if you will, that looked as if it would crash over him. Imagine him wondering if he could concoct some fake emergency that would whisk him away from the whole shit pile he had walked into and he could let his terrible children or Pence take the hit.

Imagine him wondering if he could concoct some fake emergency that would whisk him away from the whole shit pile he had walked into and he could let his terrible children or Pence take the hit.
But, no, fuck it, he decided to go out there and vent it all,
let it all hang the fuck out, talking for over an hour and forty
minutes, all repetition and grievance-airing and shit-stirring. It's
like something has finally clicked for Trump: he no longer even makes
the slightest attempt to pretend that any of this is about anything
other than himself. He doesn't give a goddamn if thousands more people
die, if he rips the nation asunder, as long as he gets what the fuck he
believes he's owed: the devotion of those he deems as lessers and a "Get
Out of Jail Free" card, along with whatever coin he pocket in the
meantime.
So, yeah, you've heard about the
lowly highlights of the future Tulsa vector of death, about the "kung
flu" and the slowing down of testing and the endless, just plain fuckin'
deranged explanation of his halting walk down a ramp at West Point,
along with his inability to lift a glass of water like a healthy human.
You've seen that shit. But, like I said, it was 100 minutes long, and
there was no way to demonstrate how completely bugfuck the whole thing
was. So lemme hit you with some of the deep cuts from the speech.
You
want more racism and advocacy for police violence? Here he is on how
ICE should arrest gang members: "ICE, they’re rough guys. they’re great
Americans, but they’ll walk into, they caught them in a pack. They’ll
walk into a pack of tough MS-13 gang members. And we shouldn’t say this,
it’s not nice. They want us to negotiate. They start swinging. And the
other such way, everybody’s swinging, at the end, they carry them back
and they throw them into the paddy wagon. They’re great." Yes, Grandpa
Donny said, "Paddy wagon," and he once again praised law enforcement
officials for beating up non-white people while mass protests are going
on about law enforcement killing non-white people.
Trump
talked about a Democratic presidency and Democratic Congress in
apocalyptic terms. "If Biden is elected, he will surrender your country
to these mobsters 100%... If the Democrats gain power, then the rioters
will be in charge and no one will be safe...Joe Biden and the Democrats
want to prosecute Americans for going to church, but not for burning a
church. They believe you can riot, vandalize and destroy, but you cannot
attend a peaceful pro-America rally. They want to punish your thought,
but not their violent crimes." Damn, I must have missed a meeting or two
of the liberal cabal because I thought we wanted Medicare for All and a
fair tax system that allows us to provide better opportunities for all
Americans. How wrong I've been.
And then, in a
shit tossing moment that would do a cage full of monkeys proud, Trump
threw it all together and topped it with a special sauce of baby murder:
"If Joe Biden were to become president, an emboldened left will launch a
full scale assault on American life. You know that. They’ll expel
anyone who disagrees with them. Look what happens when you disagree. You
use a term that’s perfect and they’re not happy with it. They call you a
racist. They call you a horrible person. They want to crush religious
liberty. They don’t want religion. Silence religious believers,
indoctrinate your children with hateful and vicious lies about our
country, subsidize late term abortion and after birth execution." By the
way, that's verbatim. He leaped from subject to subject like a
jackrabbit that got into the Meth stash. And, by the way again, what
would that "perfect term" that happens to be racist be? 'Cause "kung
flu" isn't perfect by any stretch of the bigoted imagination.
Oh,
and you know how Biden is the center point of all the evil shit that
liberals want to do? Well, not really, because he's actually completely
incapacitated and unable to function. In the middle of talking about
energy and regulations, Trump said, "And with the help of our great
energy workers, many of them come from the great state of Oklahoma. Do
you ever notice that Biden, no, do you ever notice that Biden oftentimes
gets the state wrong? He’s in Iowa and he says it’s good to be in
Idaho. No, no, you’re in Iowa. He’s in New Hampshire and he says it’s
great to be in Ohio. No, no, no, you’re in New Hampshire. That happens
to him all the time, hasn’t happened to me yet." That's right. In the
middle of a completely distracted tangent, Trump talked about how he
thinks Biden gets confused. The man has all the self-awareness of a rat
eating its own babies.
Trump is deeply, deeply
invested in trying to make Biden look old and in mental decline because,
well, by the Trumpian law of projection, Trump is old and in mental
decline. "Joe Biden is a helpless puppet of the radical left, and he’s
not radical left. I don’t think he knows what he is anymore," Trump
said. "Biden is fully controlled by the fringe of his party. He is their
pawn. He doesn’t even know where the hell he is. Let’s face it. He
installed socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be in charge of his
environmental policy and his energy."
You get the idea.
What
gets me is that in a presumptive campaign speech for a second term,
Trump gave not a single plan or idea for what he'd do. And that's
because, in essence, all he'd do is continue what he's doing: making
appearances where he can bray like a donkey with a giant butt plug
shoved in his asshole and fucking over anyone who doesn't worship him.
He's pretending he got shit done, but I don't get why no one is asking
him, "Hey, motherfucker, you said Mexico would pay for the wall. In
fact, you made all of us say it with you. What the fuck's up with that?"
But
the people in that crowd, the geeks and lepers and goons and whores and
crazies, don't fuckin' care. They just want him to be their surrogate,
their subreddit made flesh, pledging to hurt anyone they've been told
has hurt them, never realizing that the enemy is the one making them
cheer for him sipping water when he really wants to spit it at them.

AOC Triggers Eliot Engel with Challenger Endorsement
"Stop us if you’ve heard this before: A firmly entrenched New York City Democratic congressman is fighting for his political life against a fast-rising upstart who has generated serious buzz among progressives.
That, of course, was the template for one of the biggest upsets in recent political history — when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took down longtime Democratic Congressman Joe Crowley.
Now, Ocasio-Cortez is trying to help defeat another multi-term incumbent in Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY). And the congressman is none too pleased."
